Why? We don’t ask why when it comes to “Mixed Taste.” The series has its own brand of reasoning and success shows that it knows what it’s doing. Or that it’s just lucky.

We’ll let the MCA explain how it works, by quoting the press release that just arrived:

“Mixed Taste’s unique format features two seemingly unrelated topics presented by two speakers; the first speaker speaks for 20 minutes, then the second speaker covers a separate topic for another 20 minutes. This is followed by a question-and-answer session on both topics, at the same time. During the first part of the program, speakers are not allowed to make connections between topics, whereas during the Q & A, anything can happen.”
